Leigh mulley biography of alberta

The British seaside, full of shabby charm, is a place familiar to many of us and artist Leigh Mulley has managed to capture its essence in her realist paintings of various seaside memorabilia and icons. Based in Folkstone, Mulley found herself becoming entangled in the arts at an early age and feels the encouragement from her parents and excellent early schooling is what helped propel her creative side into finally forging a full-time career in painting.

Apart from visiting funfairs and amusement arcades for inspiration, I find souvenir shops just brilliant.

There’s a lovely, vintage feel to Mulley’s work as she touches upon the mundane and the loss of glamour many seaside resorts have suffered over the decades by showing us empty rides, unused dinghies and ice cream vans. There's also healthy dose of Mulley's obsession with gadgets, as seen in her water pistol series, in her work.
